One box has mariadb, mythbackend, and one instance of frontend.  Other
frontends scattered throughout the house.

I do not believe that there is any issue with mythtv.  Once the system boots
and I can ssh into it, I run systemctl restart mythbackend and all comes up
just fine.  It's just annoying that systemd can't keep trying to start
mythbackend until it succeeds.  I've set the StartLimitInterval to 0 now,
so we'll see if that fixes things, whenever the box needs a reboot.  That
may not be for some time, which is why I was not too put out to have to
start it manually, since that is only once or twice a year.
